Successful Conclusion of the Negotiations of
the Northwest Indian Commission.
WAsHINGToN, July 3-The Northwest Indian
eonmission, perhaps one OF the most important
commissions of the kind sent out by the
government, has completed its labors, and is now
about ready to submit final report to the Com
sioner of Indian Affairs. This commission was
empowered TO treat with thirty-one different
bands or tribes, scattered all over the North
western States and Territories. By the terms
of the various agreements made, the
Indians have been dealt with just
ly, ample provision made for their
support. education and civilization, and by the
sessions of land. between twenty-five and thirty
million acres Of land, timbered. agricultural,
grazing and mineral, will be opened for sale and
settlement. which now lies idle and unproduc-
hive. Rights Of way for railroads have been
obtained over which railroads now being,
are to be, constructed 1t is believed that the
negotiations OF this commission have tended to
increase the confidence of the tribes visited in
the sense of Justice and kindly intentions of

RaIkv HOraeS.

A correspondent of Irish paper makes these
recommendations: First, pat the horse the
neck, examine him carefully first one side, then
give it to him, and speak encouragingly to him.
Then jump into the wagon and give the word CO.
and he will generally obey. Second, taking the
horse out of the shafts and turning him around
in a circle until he is giddy, will generally start
him. Third, another way to cure a balky
horse is, place your hand his nose
and shut off his wind until he
wants to go. Fourth, then again, take a
couple of turns of stout Irvine around the fore
legs just below the knee. tight enough for the
horse to feel it: tie in bow knot At the first
ing short distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the tendons.
Fifth, again. you try the following: Take
tie it by cord to the de-girth. Sixth, the last
remedy l know is as follows: Tie a string
around the horses close to the head This
will divert his attention and start him.
